How Acephate Works
Acephate inhibits acetylcholinesterase in target insects and is classified in IRAC Group 1B. Use the group classification when planning resistance management, and do not treat another Acephate or Group 1B product as a different-mode rotation.
Application and Resistance Stewardship
- Confirm the crop, pest and application directions on the current Asataf pack before use.
- Measure the label rate accurately and use the listed water volume for the applicable crop and pest.
- Do not invent a per-litre or pump dose from the table ranges.
- Do not tank-mix Asataf or assume compatibility unless the current Asataf label expressly permits it.
- Avoid repeated reliance on Acephate or other IRAC Group 1B insecticides; follow the label and local agronomic advice for resistance management.
Safety and Responsible Use
Use only as directed on the current Asataf label. Wear the label-specified personal protective equipment, keep the product away from children, food and animal feed, and seek urgent medical care after suspected exposure.
The exact current Asataf pack/leaflet must be used for toxicity colour, environmental precautions, first aid, antidote, re-entry, storage, disposal and compatibility instructions. Do not publish or rely on copied directions from another Acephate product.
